What we fix
Most Broken Dentures Can Be Repaired. Including Yours.
Before you assume the worst, know this: the majority of dentures we see (even ones broken in two) are repairable. What matters most is that you bring in all the fragments and don’t try to fix it at home first.
Cracked or fractured dentures
Hairline cracks, stress fractures, and complete breaks.
Broken denture teeth
Single or multiple teeth that have chipped or snapped off.
Dentures split in half
Often fully repairable when all pieces are saved.
Loose or ill-fitting dentures
Adjustments and relines to restore proper fit
Partial denture repairs
including metal clasp damage and framework cracks
What it costs
How much does a denture repair cost?
We’re upfront about this, because most clinics aren’t. The honest answer is: it depends on the damage — but we can give you a clear number after a quick assessment, and we always confirm pricing before any work begins.
The timeline
What Happens When You Bring Your Denture In
Most patients are surprised by how straightforward — and fast — the process is. Here’s what to expect from the moment you walk in.
Will I have to go without my teeth?
For most same-day repairs, no. You bring your denture in, and in the majority of cases, you leave wearing it. If a repair is more complex and requires overnight work, we’ll let you know upfront before you make any decisions.
Do I need an appointment?
We always recommend calling ahead so we can prepare — but we understand dentures don’t break on a schedule. Call us at [Phone Number] and we’ll do our best to see you as soon as possible.
Emergency Denture Repairs
Broken denture? Don’t wait until next week.
A broken denture isn’t a “schedule it when it’s convenient” situation — especially if it’s your only set. Eating, speaking, and everyday confidence depend on it. Our on-site lab means we can handle urgent repairs the same day, in most cases. Call us first. Don’t improvise. Don’t wait.
Repair vs. replace
When a repair isn’t the right answer
We’ll always tell you when it is — and when it isn’t. Some dentures reach a point where repeated repairs cost more and work less well than starting fresh. An honest assessment matters more to us than billing another repair.
Know the difference
Repair, reline, or adjustment — what’s the difference?
These three services often get confused — and that confusion leads to patients either under-treating or over-investing. Many people need more than one at the same time.
Why breaks happen
Why Do Dentures Break? (It’s Usually Not What You Think)
Most patients assume they did something wrong. They didn’t. Denture damage is normal — and often inevitable — for reasons that have nothing to do with how carefully you handle them.
The most common causes we see:
Accidental drops
Acrylic is strong under daily chewing forces but fragile under impact. A single drop onto a tile or porcelain sink is all it takes. It’s the most common cause of complete breaks — and one of the most consistently repairable.
Long-term wear and material fatigue
Denture acrylic thins gradually over years of use. What looks fine from the outside may be structurally compromised beneath the surface, making it increasingly prone to fracture under normal pressure.
Changes in your jawbone and gums
This one surprises most patients. After tooth loss, the underlying bone naturally resorbs — it shrinks and changes shape over time. As the jaw changes, the denture that once fit perfectly begins to sit unevenly. That uneven contact creates stress points that eventually crack.
An uneven bite
A bite that doesn’t distribute force evenly puts repeated strain on the same areas of the denture. Over time, those areas give way — often in the same spot, even after multiple repairs.
Common questions
What people usually ask us
Can a denture be repaired more than once?
Yes — dentures can be repaired multiple times, depending on the type of damage and the overall condition of the appliance. That said, repeated breaks in the same spot often signal an underlying fit or bite issue that a repair alone won't resolve. We'll flag it if we see it.
What if I lost a piece of my broken denture?
Bring in what you have. Depending on the size and location of the missing fragment, a repair may still be possible. The more pieces you save, the better the outcome — but a small missing chip doesn't automatically mean the denture is lost.
Can you repair a partial denture as well as a full denture?
Yes — we repair both. Partial dentures have extra components, like metal clasps and frameworks, that need specific expertise. Bring it in and we'll assess what's involved.
My denture feels loose — is that a repair or an adjustment?
Looseness is usually a fit issue, not damage. It may need a reline (if your gum or bone shape has changed) or an adjustment (if a pressure point or clasp is making it shift). An assessment will tell us which applies.
How do I know if my crack is serious?
All cracks are worth having assessed professionally. What looks like a surface scratch can extend through the base and worsen quickly under daily chewing pressure. When in doubt, come in — assessments are straightforward.
Can I eat normally after a denture repair?
In most cases, yes — especially for same-day repairs. We'll let you know if there are any short-term precautions based on the specific repair we performed.
What's the difference between a repair and a reline?
A repair fixes physical damage to the appliance. A reline updates the fitting surface to match changes in your gum and bone structure. Some patients need both.

Don’t wait
A cracked denture gets harder to fix over time.
The sooner a damaged denture is assessed, the better the chance of a successful repair. If your denture is cracked, broken, uncomfortable, or just doesn’t feel right — bring it in. In most cases, we can have you sorted the same day.
